  1. Calling All Mothers

    HeatherB,CST replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    That's very cool! I need to check out the library more often it

  2. Anyone attending/attended GTCC in Jamestown?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey, thanks! Look at the date, I posted that like over two months ago, I never thought I'd see a reply! Thanks so much for the insight. I have actually done just fine, I LOVE my Bio 110 instructor. I...

  3. Calling All Mothers

    HeatherB,CST replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    The library's a great idea! Now the only problem is, when the movies are due, the day after you return them, someone's going to be crying, "I want Roger Rabbit!!!!!" and you'll have to run out and...

  4. Ladies, Can you wear your hair down at work?

    HeatherB,CST replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend in the ED who was actually LIFTED OFF THE GROUND by her hair. A very large, very disoriented patient got hold of her before security could get to him. She lost big clumps of it and...

  5. Calling All Mothers

    HeatherB,CST replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now keep in mind that this was 10 years ago, but here's the short list of the ones I knew would keep my 2 & 5yo boys engaged... The Nightmare Before Christmas Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Baby...

  6. Calling All Mothers

    HeatherB,CST replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to admit it too, but the "pop a movie in" advice is the only one that worked consistently for me when I was in college and my boys were 2 and 5. Now I'm back in school, they're 12 amd 15....

  7. What do you do to keep up at night to study?

    HeatherB,CST replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Possibly, but I am usually not too fatigued when I go to bed...I have a fairly regular sleep schedule, and I have found this to work well for me. Plus, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed most...

  8. Hate my Micro lab partner........3 more months of this......ugh!

    HeatherB,CST replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL good one, peach! You really never know about people. I was a hairstylist for many years, and I had many many clients tell me how FABULOUS their lives were, and invariably, their lives never ended...

  9. New Human Anatomy Website

    HeatherB,CST replied to hautenerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a cool site, but I had to giggle when I entered my password for the first time, confirmed it, hit "reset", and I got the following message: Password Reseted! RESETED????? It's a good thing this...

  10. How many of you have study system in place?

    HeatherB,CST replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been using the two hours I have alone each day (between my school and when the kids get home) to do any of the work/studying that takes quiet and concentration. Then, while the kids do their...

  11. Can't let it go!

    HeatherB,CST replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly my plan as well! CST to CFA. We're just taking two different roads to the same destination! Oh, and I know that not all OR nurses circulate only, but reading the OR forum I can see that...

  12. What do you do to keep up at night to study?

    HeatherB,CST replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw a really cool documentary about sleep on Discovery Health or some such channel. It explained how one of the things your brain does during sleep is process the information you've learned...

  13. Can't let it go!

    HeatherB,CST replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL I get the same thing but reversed...I am starting a surgical tech program, and all the pre-nursing students in my Biology and Math classes want to know why I want to be "just a tech" and not a...

  14. Any creative people out there?

    HeatherB,CST replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    You can get M&Ms custom printed now, maybe that could be useful? I forget the web site, just Google it. Good

  15. CST versus RN

    HeatherB,CST replied to happysmiler89's topic in General Nursing

    Another good resource is the forums at the Association of Surgical Technologists www.ast.org/forum . There are many experienced STs/CSTs there who can give you insight. Just reading the archived...

  16. Tampons to the rescue in Iraq!

    HeatherB,CST posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm not a military nuse, but I thought you all on this forum would get a kick out of it: Tampons to the rescue in Iraq!! Don't worry, it's a good story, and worth reading. It's even humorous in parts....

  17. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    HeatherB,CST replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Dont forget, though, that although that probably seems silly to you, most people who don't have medical training have never been taught that a little IV bubble is nothing to worry about. Everyone has,...

  18. Drug testing?

    HeatherB,CST replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not just nursing, any career can be jeopardized. A neighbor of mine was recently turned down for an accounting job because of a drug test...It was kinda funny because she's the neighborhood...

  19. Patients on Vacation????(long)

    HeatherB,CST replied to emsboss's topic in Emergency

    It always kills me that people seem to think that everything that has ever happened to them in any PCP office or hospital is just there in the computer somewhere, and the nurse can just "pull it up"....

  20. Spin off of dating patients. RN's dating docs?

    HeatherB,CST replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is so sweet! Love is in bloom on allnurses.com!!! Thanks for the vicarious tummy-flips

  21. CNA training: Some questionable behavior

    HeatherB,CST replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

    Experience does not give them the ability to see into the future. So what happens if the I&Os change the next day drastically and they have to go back and change the "mirror charting?" I believe...

  22. sextuplets

    HeatherB,CST replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wonder, assuming the last little boy lives, if he will ever be able to fully grasp largeness of the fact that he was one of SIX. He won't even have the experience of growing up with another...

  23. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    HeatherB,CST replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    They never tell you all that stuff you need to know for 1st grade. My first day, I had to go to the bathroom, and the teacher handed me a block of wood called the "Hall Path" at least that's what I...

  24. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

    HeatherB,CST replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OH my gosh! I had almost forgotten about Lawrence Welk! I was a preschooler and my dad would swing me around the living room pretending to dance like Bobby & Sissy!!! I also named my favorite doll...

  25. Almost immediate STD (itching?)

    HeatherB,CST replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't give any insight about the itching, but HOLY COW I can't believe that jerk left her just weeks after a sucessful
